Creating tables in Microsoft OneNote is as simple as pressing "Tab." When you press "Tab" after typing a word or phrase in OneNote, the program assumes the text is the first entry in a row of data and creates a cell around the information. Once you reach the end of a row, pressing "Enter" creates a new row. OneNote will automatically adjust cell, row and column sizes based on the data you enter, but you can manually adjust column size with a click of your mouse.
